¹And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

¹Huan, hichi ahi a, kumpipa Hezekiain huai a jak takin a puansilhte a botkeka, saiip puan a silha, TOUPA inah a lutta.

²And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.

²Huan, a inkuanpihte tunga heutu-a om Eliakim leh, laigelhmi Shebna leh, siampute upate saiip puan silhin Amoz tapa jawlnei Isai kiangah a sawl hi.

³And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

³Huan, a mau a kiangah, Hezekiain hichiin a chi, Tuni mangbatna leh muhsitna ni ahi; naupangte lah a pian hun uh a hita ngala, amau piangsak dingin hatna lah a om nawn ngal keia.

⁴It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.

⁴Rabsakeh a pu Assuria kumpipan Pathian hing gense dinga a sawl thu gente, TOUPA na Pathianin a bilin a za lai ahi kha ding, huchiin a thu gen, TOUPA na Pathian in a biala, a jakte ah, a honsal ding hi; huaijiakin a om sunte adingin na thumna lan tou in, a chi hi, a chi ua.

⁵And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵Huchiin kumpipa Hezekia sikhate Isai kiangah a hongpai uh.

⁶And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

⁶Huan, Isaiin a kiang uah, Na pu kiang uah hichiin na chi ding uh ahi, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Na thu jak, Assuria kumpipa sikhaten a hon-gensiatnate uh, kihta ken.

⁷Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

⁷Ngaiin, a sungah kha banghiam ka omsak dinga, huchiin thuthang a za dinga, amah gamah a kik nawn ding; huchiin amah gam ngeiah namsaua puksakin ka omsak ding, a chi hi, chiin, a chi a.

⁸And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

⁸Huchiin Rabsakeh a kik nawna, Assuria kumpipan Libnah khua akipan a pai kheta chih a thei khin ngala.

⁹And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

⁹Huan, Assuria kumpipa Sennakeribin Tirhak Ethiopia gam kumpipa tungthu, Nang honsim dingin a pawtta, chiin mi gen a ja. Huchiin huai a jak takin Hezekia kiangah Palaite a sawla.

¹⁰Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

¹⁰Hichiin Judate kumpipa Hezekia kiangah na chi ding uh ahi, Na muan Pathianin, Jerusalem khua Assuria kumpipa khutah piak ahi kei ding, chiin, hon khem kei hen.

¹¹Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

¹¹Ngaiin, Assuria kumpipaten gam tengteng suse vekin a tung ua a thilhihte uh nabilin na ja hi, huchiin nang penpen humbitin na om tuam ding hiam?

¹²Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?

¹²Nam chih pathianten, Gozante, Harante, Resephte, Eden ta Telassar khuaa om te, ka pipute sukmante, a humbit ua hia.

¹³Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?

¹³Hamath kumpipa te, Ivvah kumpipa te koia om a hita ua? chiin, a chi a.

¹⁴And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.

¹⁴Huan Hezekiain palaite khuta kipanin lai a mu a, a sima, huchiin Hezekia TOUPA inah a va luta, TOUPA maah a phata hi.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,

¹⁵Huan, Hezekia TOUPA kiang ah a thuma.

¹⁶Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

¹⁶Sepaihte TOUPA, Israelte Pathian aw, cherubte tunga tupa, nang, nang kia, leitung luah gam tengteng Pathian na hi; nangman leitung leh van na bawl a.

¹⁷Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.

¹⁷TOUPA aw na bil hon doh inla, ngai dih ve; TOUPA aw na mit hak inla, en dih ve; Pathian hing gense dinga mite sawlpa Sennakerib thu tengteng ngai dih ve.

¹⁸Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their countries,

¹⁸TOUPA, Assuria kumpipaten gam tengteng leh a lei uh a hihse ngei ngut ua, a pathiante uleng meiah a pai ua.

¹⁹and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.

¹⁹Huaite jaw Pathian ahi kei him ua, mihing khuta bawl sing leh suang, a hijaw uh; huaijiakin a hihmang uhi.

²⁰And now, Jehovah our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, thou only.

²⁰Huaijiakin, TOUPA ka Pathian uh aw, nang, nang kia, TOUPA na hi chih leitung luah gam tengtengin a theihna ding un amah akipanin honhumbitin, chiin.

²¹And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,

²¹Huai laiin Amoz tapa Isaiin Hezekia kiangah mi a sawla, hichiin a chi a, TOUPA Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi hi, Assuria kumpipa Sennakerib siatna ding nangawna ka kianga na thum jiakin hiai a tungtang thu TOUPAN a gen ahi hi;

²²this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.

²²Zion tanu nungakin a honmusita, a honnuih san hi; Jerusalem tanuin a lu a honsin khum.

²³Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy One of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.

²³Kua ahi maia na minsiatsakna gensiat? kua tungah ahia na aw na puamsaka, na mit na sansak? Israelte Mi Siangthou tungah ngei.

²⁴By thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the recesses of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; and I will enter into its furthest height, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.

²⁴Na sikhate zangin TOUPa na min sesaka, Ka kangtalai tampi toh tangsang sanna, LEbanon gam gil khawngah ka hontungtou ta hi; a sidar sing sang takte leh a meilah sing hoih te ka phuk ding; A mun sang pen, a lei hoihna gammangah ka lut ding.

²⁵I have digged and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.

²⁵Tuileh ka leta, tui ka dawn jela, ka khepek nuaiin Aigupta lui tengteng ka kangsak vek ding, na chi.

²⁶Hast thou not heard that long ago I did it, and that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.

²⁶Ken nidanglaia patin huai ka hih ahi a, tumalama kipana ka suktuah ahi chih na za ka hia? Khua kulhpi neite in chim khawm bang lela hihsepa na hih theihna dingin tuin ka tungsak hi.

²⁷And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.

²⁷Huaijiakin a sunga omte a hat lo kei ua, a lau ua, a zahlak uhi; pawn loupa bang lel leh, koupa hing bang lel, intungloupa hing bang lel, intungloupa bang leh, lou buh hoih ma bang lel ahi uh.

²⁸But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.

²⁸Ken bel na tut bang, na pawt bang, na lut bang, ka tunga na hehdan ka thei hi.

²⁹Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁹Ka tunga na heh jiak leh, na pau uang dan ka bila a honglut touh tak jiakin ka nakbulh nang nakah ka bulh dinga, ka sikkaihna leng na mukah ka bulh ding hi, na hongpaina lampi mahah ka honkik sak nawn ding, chih, chiin.

³⁰And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten this year such as groweth of itself; and in the second year that which springeth of the same; but in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.

³⁰Huan, hiai pen nang adinga chiamtehna ding ahi ding; tukumin buh sang na sen ding ua; kum nawnin leng huai buh sang mah na sen ding uh; huan, a kum thumna ah buh tuh unla, at unla, grep huante bawl unla, a gah ne un.

³¹And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;

³¹Huan, Juda inkuampihte laka dam sunte bel a suklama zungkaia, a tou lama gahin a om nawn ding.

³²for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that escape: the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this.

³²A om sunte Jerusalem akipanina pawt ding ua, dam lai dingte Zion tang akipanin a pawt ding uh; sepaihte TOUPA phatuamngaihnain huaite a hih ding hi.

³³Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

³³Huaijiakin TOUPAN Assuria kumpipa tungtang thu-ah hichiin a chi, Amah hiai khopi a hongtung kei dinga, hiailaiah a thal leng a kap sam kei dinga, lum toh a kiangah leng a hongpai sam kei ding, a simna dingin lah lei kulh a bawl sam kei ding.

³⁴By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.

³⁴A hongpaina lampi-ah huai mahah a hongkik nawn dinga, hiai khopi a hongtung kei ding, TOUPAN a chi.

³⁵And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁵Kei jiak leh ka sikha David jiakin hiai khopi humbit dingin ka hum ding hi, chiin, a chi a.

³⁶And an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.

³⁶Huchiin TOUPA angel a vapawta, Assuriate giahmunah mi nuai khat leh sing giat leh sang nga a sisak a; huan, jing khanga mi a thoh u leh, ngaiin, misi luang ngen a nahi hi.

³⁷And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.

³⁷Huchiin, Assuria kumpipa Sannakerib a pawta, a paia, a kik peka, Ninevi khuaah a om nilouh hi.Huan, hichi ahi a, a pathian Nisrok inah pathian a biak laiin a tapa Adrammelek leh Sarezer ten namsauin a sat lum ua; huchiin a tai mang ua, Ararat gamah a lut uh. Huan, a tapa Esarhaddonin a sikin vai a hawm hi.

³⁸And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

³⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, a pathian Nisrok inah pathian a biak laiin a tapa Adrammelek leh Sarezer ten namsauin a sat lum ua; huchiin a tai mang ua, Ararat gamah a lut uh. Huan, a tapa Esarhaddonin a sikin vai a hawm hi.
